Chemical Burns Lyrics

birthmarks are burned with time
earmarks are lost in greed
ballparks are built to tumble
with memories

'cause living upstairs outside your window
I finally found a little symbol
carving our sins
a misfit groveling

harmless hearts (just raise your skirt a little)
countless starts (echos of tainted love)
anxious wounds (perfection isn't free)
drowned in youth

love in a dark room
develop our past in photos
chemical burns and harmless hearts

classrooms where notes are passed
lunchrooms where drugs are free
costumes are made to cover the red eye thieves

sneaking out of class late in the morning
to find to find, a little trouble
amateur needs
we'll shoot among the weeds

harmless hearts (just raise your skirt a little)
countless starts (echos of tainted love)
anxious wounds (perfection isn't free)
drowned in youth

love in a dark room
develop our past in photos
chemical burns and harmless hearts

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
